Ezekieli 36:1-38
36 “Koma iwe mwana wa munthu, losera zokhudza mapiri a ku Isiraeli ndipo unene kuti, ‘Inu mapiri a ku Isiraeli, imvani mawu a Yehova.
2 Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Mdani wanu wakunenani kuti, ‘Eyaa! Ngakhale malo okwezeka akalekale tawatenga kuti akhale athu!’”’+
3 Choncho losera ndipo unene kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Adani anu akusandutsani bwinja ndipo akuukirani kuchokera kumbali zonse. Achita zimenezi kuti anthu a mitundu ina amene anapulumuka* akutengeni kuti mukhale awo ndipo anthu akunena za inu komanso kukunenerani miseche.+
4 Choncho inu mapiri a ku Isiraeli, imvani mawu a Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa. Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wauza mapiri ndi zitunda, mitsinje ndi zigwa, mabwinja a malo amene anawonongedwa+ komanso mizinda yopanda anthu imene anthu a mitundu ina amene anapulumuka anaitenga kuti ikhale yawo. Anthuwo ankakhala moizungulira ndipo ankainyoza.+
5 Mawu amene Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, akuwauza ndi akuti: ‘Ndidzadzudzula anthu a mitundu ina amene anapulumuka komanso Edomu yense nditakwiya kwambiri.+ Ndidzadzudzula amene anatenga dziko langa kuti likhale lawo akusangalala kwambiri komanso akunyoza+ nʼcholinga choti dzikolo ndi malo ake odyetserako ziweto zikhale zawo.’”’+
6 Choncho losera zokhudza dziko la Isiraeli ndipo uuze mapiri, zitunda, mitsinje ndi zigwa kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Ineyo ndidzalankhula mwaukali ndiponso nditakwiya kwambiri chifukwa chakuti anthu a mitundu ina akhala akukunyozani.”’+
7 Choncho Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: ‘Ine ndikulumbira nditakweza dzanja langa kuti mitundu imene yakuzungulirani idzachita manyazi.+
8 Koma inu mapiri a Isiraeli, mudzatulutsa nthambi nʼkuberekera zipatso anthu anga Aisiraeli,+ chifukwa chakuti abwerera mʼdziko lawo posachedwapa.
9 Chifukwa ine ndili ndi inu ndipo ndidzakukomerani mtima moti anthu adzalima minda mwa inu nʼkudzala mbewu.
10 Ndidzachulukitsa anthu anu. Ndidzachulukitsa nyumba yonse ya Isiraeli. Anthu adzayamba kukhala mʼmizinda+ ndipo malo amene anali mabwinja adzamangidwanso.+
11 Inde, ndidzachulukitsa anthu anu ndi ziweto zanu.+ Adzachuluka nʼkuberekana kwambiri. Ndidzachititsa kuti anthu akhale mwa inu ngati mmene zinalili poyamba+ ndipo ndidzachititsa kuti zinthu zikuyendereni bwino kwambiri kuposa poyamba.+ Choncho inu mudzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova.+
12 Ndidzachititsa kuti anthu, anthu anga Aisiraeli, azidzayendayenda mwa inu ndipo adzakutengani kuti mukhale awo.+ Inu mudzakhala cholowa chawo ndipo simudzawalandanso ana awo.’”+
13 “Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: ‘Anthu akukunenani kuti: “Inu ndinu dziko limene limadya anthu ndipo mumapha ana a mitundu ya anthu anu.”’
14 ‘Pa chifukwa chimenechi inu simudzadyanso anthu kapena kuchititsa kuti mitundu ya anthu anu ikhale yopanda ana,’ akutero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.
15 ‘Sindidzachititsanso kuti anthu a mitundu ina azikunyozani kapena kuti anthu azikunenerani mawu achipongwe+ ndipo simudzakhumudwitsanso mitundu ya anthu amene akukhala mwa inu,’ akutero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.”
16 Yehova anandiuzanso kuti:
17 “Iwe mwana wa munthu, pa nthawi imene a nyumba ya Isiraeli ankakhala mʼdziko lawo, analidetsa ndi makhalidwe awo komanso zochita zawo.+ Kwa ine, khalidwe lawo linali ngati zonyansa za mkazi amene akusamba.+
18 Choncho ndinawakhuthulira mkwiyo wanga chifukwa cha magazi amene iwo anakhetsa mʼdzikoli+ komanso chifukwa chakuti anadetsa dzikoli ndi mafano awo onyansa.*+
19 Ndiye ndinawabalalitsira kwa anthu a mitundu ina ndipo ndinawamwaza mʼmayiko osiyanasiyana.+ Ndinawaweruza mogwirizana ndi njira zawo komanso zochita zawo.
20 Koma atapita kwa anthu a mitundu inawo, anthuwo anadetsa dzina langa loyera+ ponena za iwowo kuti, ‘Awa ndi anthu a Yehova, koma anachoka mʼdziko lake.’
21 Ndidzachita zinthu zosonyeza kuti ndikudera nkhawa dzina langa loyera, limene nyumba ya Isiraeli yalidetsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene iwo anapita.”+
22 “Choncho uza nyumba ya Isiraeli kuti, ‘Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: “Sindidzachita zimenezi chifukwa cha inuyo a nyumba ya Isiraeli, koma chifukwa cha dzina langa loyera limene munalidetsa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina kumene munapita.”’+
23 ‘Ndidzayeretsadi dzina langa lalikulu+ limene linadetsedwa pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Inu munadetsa dzina langalo pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina. Anthu a mitundu inawo adzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova,+ akadzaona zimene ndakuchitirani komanso adzadziwa kuti ndine Mulungu woyera,’ akutero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa.
24 ‘Ndidzakutengani kuchokera kwa anthu a mitundu ina nʼkukusonkhanitsani pamodzi kuchokera mʼmayiko onse ndipo ndidzakubwezeretsani mʼdziko lanu.+
25 Ndidzakuwazani madzi oyera ndipo mudzakhala oyera.+ Ndidzakuyeretsani pokuchotserani zonyansa zanu zonse+ ndi mafano anu onse onyansa.+
26 Ndidzakupatsani mtima watsopano+ ndipo ndidzaika mzimu watsopano mwa inu.+ Ndidzachotsa mtima wamwala+ mʼmatupi anu nʼkukupatsani mtima wamnofu.*
27 Ndidzaika mzimu wanga mwa inu ndipo ndidzachititsa kuti muziyenda motsatira malamulo anga.+ Mudzasunga zigamulo zanga komanso kuzitsatira.
28 Mukadzachita zimenezi mudzakhala mʼdziko limene ndinapatsa makolo anu. Mudzakhala anthu anga ndipo ine ndidzakhala Mulungu wanu.’+
29 ‘Ndidzakupulumutsani ku zinthu zanu zonse zodetsa ndipo ndidzauza mbewu kuti zibereke kwambiri moti sindidzakubweretseraninso njala.+
30 Ndidzachititsa kuti zipatso za mtengo komanso zokolola zakumunda zichuluke nʼcholinga choti musadzanyozekenso chifukwa cha njala pakati pa anthu a mitundu ina.+
31 Pa nthawiyo mudzakumbukira njira zanu zoipa ndi zochita zanu zimene sizinali zabwino. Mudzadzimvera chisoni chifukwa cha machimo anu komanso zinthu zonyansa zimene munkachita.+
32 Koma dziwani izi: Ine sindikuchita zimenezi chifukwa cha inu,’+ akutero Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa. ‘Koma inu a nyumba ya Isiraeli, muchite manyazi ndipo muone kuti mwanyozeka chifukwa cha njira zanu.’
33 Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: ‘Pa tsiku limene ndidzakuyeretseni nʼkuchotsa zolakwa zanu zonse, ndidzachititsa kuti mʼmizinda yanu muzikhala anthu+ komanso kuti malo amene anali mabwinja amangidwenso.+
34 Anthu adzalima mʼdziko limene linawonongedwa, limene aliyense wodutsa ankaliona kuti ndi bwinja.
35 Anthu adzanena kuti: “Dziko limene linali bwinja tsopano lakhala ngati munda wa Edeni.+ Mizinda imene inawonongedwa ija, imene inali mabwinja ndiponso imene nyumba zake zinagwetsedwa, tsopano ili ndi mipanda yolimba kwambiri ndipo mukukhala anthu.”+
36 Anthu a mitundu ina amene anatsala omwe akuzungulirani, adzadziwa kuti ine Yehova, ndamanga zinthu zimene zinagwetsedwa komanso kuti ndadzala mitengo mʼdziko limene linali bwinja. Ine Yehova ndanena zimenezi ndipo ndazichita.’+
37 Yehova, Ambuye Wamkulu Koposa, wanena kuti: ‘Ine ndidzalolanso kuti a nyumba ya Isiraeli andipemphe kuti ndiwachulukitsire anthu awo ngati gulu la nkhosa ndipo ndidzachitadi zimenezo.
38 Mizinda imene inali mabwinja idzadzaza ndi anthu ochuluka+ ngati gulu la oyera ndiponso ngati nkhosa za ku Yerusalemu* pa nthawi ya zikondwerero,+ ndipo iwo adzadziwa kuti ine ndine Yehova.’”
